But enough of that letter 1t speaks
Tor ltself, and the locality of its publi-
cation speaks more loudly STILL
we Will take glance backward and
see, when Mississippi had some local
trouble two years since and Congress
was thinking of sending down a COM
mIttee of Investigation, who it was that
stood like Leonidas and defended the
pass Who was it that thought the
States could attend to their own affairs
and holding out against such a prece-
dent, won his case? Was it not Gen.
Reagan, of Texas? Did he not oppose
national supervision in State affairs
Now, III his wild desire for success, in
his unseemly haste, does he not hug The
fatal policy that will destroy the Tenn
perance cause in the South, to his breast
and hurry off to the House that Jack
built?
Thus 1t is with the leaders, and the
followers are close behind them. The con-
servative wings of the Temperance and
local prohibition party are appalled,, for
they recognize the spirit that famed The
fires at Smithfield; the spirit that stalked
abroad on the night of st. Bartholomew;
the spirit that presides over the in
quisitorial machines; the spirit that
drove the May yfiower to our shores,
kindled the fires at Salem, and drove
Roger Williams to the wilderness. When
these prosecutions were over, reason re-
sumed her sway, and Christianity made
a steady march forward. So it is with
our Temperance cause. Nothing can be
done until this radicalism has spent
itself and the reasoning powers of men
come into play. Drunkenness is on the
decrease, traffic in liquor is becoming
daily more disgraceful, and if we can
only separate Christianity from Sec
tarianism, all will be well at both the
North and South on the Temperance
and Prohibition questions, without any
national interference.
